Andrew Streitwieser is an American

chemist known for his contributions to physical organic chemistry.

Streitwieser was born in 1927 in Buffalo, New York and he grew up in New York City. He attended Columbia

College and then Columbia University where

he earned a PhD in the research group of William von Eggers Doering in

1952. He then was a postdoctoral fellow in

the laboratory of John D. Roberts at MIT.

He has been Professor of Chemistry at the University of California,

Berkeley since 1953. Streitwieser was one of the pioneers

of molecular orbital theory and

his book Molecular Orbital Theory for Organic Chemists had a

lasting impact on the field. He is also well-known for proposing the

currently accepted interpretation of the origin of secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effects. Streitwieser

developed the technique of using protium/deuterium exchange to measure the

acidity of exceedingly weak carbon acids and was a codeveloper of the MSAD

acidity scale, named for the first initials of the chemists who developed it. His Chemical

Reviews article titled "Solvolytic Displacement Reactions at

Saturated Carbon" was influential in the field of physical organic

chemistry. Streitwieser is also the author of the widely used university

textbook Introduction to Organic Chemistry (4th revised ed.,

1998, translation, Organische Chemie, ISBN 3527258108), as

well as the autobiography A Lifetime of Synergy With Theory Streitwieser

was elected to the United

States National Academy of Sciences in 1969 and is an American Chemical Society Fellow.

He is the recipient of the ACS Award in Petroleum Chemistry (1967), James Flack

Norris Award in Physical Organic Chemistry (1982), the Guggenheim Fellowship (1968),

the Arthur C. Cope Scholar

Award (1989), and the Roger Adams Award (2009).
